Iowa Speedway is back on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule for the second time in 2025, albeit in early August after it hosted its inaugural Cup race in mid-June last year.<\/p>\n

The four-turn, 0.894-mile (1.439-kilometer) Newton, Iowa oval is classified as a short track, so each driver is set to make a two-lap qualifying attempt in Saturday’s qualifying session to set the full starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s race.<\/p>\n

There is no longer a second round shootout for the pole position; all qualifying speeds are stacked up to determine the lineup, though only the faster lap of each driver’s run counts. Additionally, there are no longer any row-by-row lane designations.<\/p>\n

The qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable metric which has been used since the start of the 2025 season. This formula replaced the old four-variable metric which was used from 2020 to 2024.<\/p>\n

A full breakdown of the current formula can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are 37 cars on the entry list after three lineup changes were made<\/a> following last weekend’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full qualifying order for the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway.<\/p>\n
